Beaded Silk Kimono

My Delhi Method.

Jewelry, carvings, silks, rugs—the big government stores in Delhi sell everything, all at fixed prices, which is fine if you happen to be pressed for time.

I recommend the small specialized places off in the back alleys around Chandni Chowk.

Never buy what you see on display at first. Look it over critically, slowly, then ask if they have anything else to show you; repeat if necessary.

That’s how you find stuff like this.
